Green Big Sky, MT
Mr. K drops 1,403 vertical feet over 8,397 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,630 feet below the top. That's steeper than 79% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 249th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, Mr. K gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 124th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,960 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
